Meaning:
The line of Rigved 1/147/3 gives us the instruction about our work - "One
must not be afraid of slander, sigma, ridicule etc in the works for others'
welfare. God himself protects such people. Therefore, free from all worries,
one must become involved in activity for people's welfare.
Message:
The word 'paropakaar' means doing
good to others or obliging others. The meaningfulness of human life lies in
being useful to others. He, who does not help others despite having the power,
is like an animal. Everyone lives for himself, but the excellence of a man's
life can be guessed by how much he has lived for others. Man goes on working
for maintaining his existence, but his divinity is revealed by how much he has
worked for others.
Every
man requires the cooperation of others. The biggest and the most capable man
also need cooperation from others. The human life's grace and glory increases
by works of welfare. A truly obliging person always remains cheerful and
experiences inner joy and divine light. The extent to which a man obliges
others, he comes that much closer to God. 'Satpurush' (good, saintly men) are
those who do good to others without any type of selfishness. For doing good to
others, it is necessary to give up narrow thinking.
What
is 'paropakar' or obliging others? If we look carefully, it is in 3 stages -
advice, help in achievement and financial help. We should advice the people on
the basis of personal worth, capacity and experience. Beneficial advice at the
proper time works like a beam of light in a man's life. Similarly, whenever
possible, wherever possible one should help others in carrying out their work
properly and one should also not hesitate in giving financial help.
It is
not easy to do welfare-work. Many obstacles come in the way and they disturb
the mind. The fact is that the sentiment for helping others is aroused in us as
a result of the influence of innumerable virtuous deeds and when we are trying
to help others, friends and companions ridicule us, and by various allegations
drain away our enthusiasm. It is also a fact that people have turned social
welfare work into a profession and under the cover of social work, they are
busy making money. In such an incongruent situation, a true social welfare
worker finds it difficult to protect his self-respect. He has to suffer all
kinds of resistance. But he should remember that by obliging others, good
tendencies leading towards purity fill his hearts which guide him to the good
path. A man doing good deeds is neither destroyed nor suffers downfall. God
protects him every moment in every way.
We
shall do our duty without worrying about "what other will say".
